From Overwhelming DMV Nightmare to Back On The Road In No Time...

Through no one's fault but my own, I recently found myself in a very overwhelming predicament with the DMV. Not only was my car registration suspended (insurance lapse), but my license was suspended in 5 separate municipalities. I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how/where to start first ...in order to clean up the mess I had gotten myself into. I found Mike Palumbo online and was impressed as soon as I made contact with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and reviewed my case right away. After doing so, he provided me with a detailed email (followed by a phone call) including step-by-step instructions as to how we would proceed. The entire process suddenly seemed and became very manageable, and Mike was very understanding, professional, and responsive every step of the way. Furthermore, as I had made him aware of my tendency to procrastinate, he really motivated and pushed me to get stuff done and meet important deadlines which I appreciated and needed (as my not doing so was a big part of my problem in the first place). Thank you Mike Palumbo for helping to get me back on the road!!

Pleased with the results. I would recommend the firm to others.

Mr. Palumbo was very responsive. Items he required to defend me were clearly identified by him. He was able to have the case dismissed which is a better result than I had antipicated.

Motor vehicle violation representation

Mr Palumbo offered prompt advice and expedient and satisfactory resolution to an otherwise potential serious traffic violation. I am very satisfied with the resolution he was able to attain.

Very Professional and knowledgeable.

I found Michael on the internet after acquiring a speeding ticket while vacationing in NY for thanksgiving. I found Michael through the internet, was interested in his services after reading some of his blog. I called and spoke to him personally which was great because it's not really helpful when yo...u're calling long-distance and have to leave messages with receptionists. I liked the professional manner in which he handled the phone call, the confident tone in his voice and found him to be a great lawyer. He was very professional and answered the phone pretty much every time I called him. I was a bit skeptical at first, with the thought of highering someone in a different country (I live in Canada) but luckily it worked out. Michael walked me through the process and told me exactly what to expect and when to expect it. I did as told pretty much and although I didn't get 100% of my desired outcome (Doens't anyone wish it could all disappear with 0 points on your file? lol) it all happened as he said it would, when he said it would. The only little hiccup I ever had was that after I mailed my payment with documents of my offense, I emailed Michael and asked that he pleased emailed me back when he received it. This never happened and it was never acknowledged that the payment and documents had been received. Mind you, I gave Michael the benefit of the doubt with Christmas approaching and the holiday season. I figured he was too busy with other things and hopefully had a personal life to attend to. I did phone the office to confirm that this payment and documents had been received and was pleasantly surprised when the person on the other side of the phone was able to "pull up" my file and tell me where we were at. Even explained the steps that Michael had already taken in my case and the letters that he had already mailed on my behalf. Keep in mind that those days that I didn't hear back, the thought of having been scammed crossed my mind. Also that I never did follow up with a phone call after my email. I decided 2 or 3 emails were enough and the man knew what he had to do. My case proceeded normally as expected. I heard back from Michael when it was all resolved and again he walked me through the remainder of the procedure professional as always. Suggested alternate measures I could take to better my results and everything is as good as it could've been considering I did do what I was fined for. Bottom line of my review, Michael is an honorable lawyer, whom I would highly recommend. He is human (based on his human oversight), and very professional.

Successful and satisfying!

One of my tickets I received I strongly believed I did not deserve and I knew for a fact i wouldn't win alone, so it was time to start looking. After a lot of google searching I had a list of lawyers I wanted to contact, Michael was one of them. He won me over due to his very quick response. I wro...te him an essay description of my ticket. He responded the next day to which I have replied with more questions. To my surprise, i got a reply 5 mins later! This kept on going until I had no-more questions to ask, and each reply was within about 5 minutes. That was truly something I did not expect to see, what was also great is that Michael responded to EACH of the questions I asked, even though there was many. There were no skipped questions, no questions left unanswered. I felt that I left my ticket "case" in good hands, and I was definitely right. Unfortunately for me, I snagged another ticket only about a week later. I thought I was finished, but the minute the Police officer drove off I called Michael and gave him all the details. A few months passed and I received an email, and a letter stating the results. One ticket was completely dropped and the other was dropped from 6 to 2 points. I'm glad I choose Michael. I definitely recommend him.
